it's all in a day's work (well, 15 to be exact, including the rehearsals i have to sit through) for the saf day parade, a "highlight in the military calendar and serves as a reminder of the importance of national defence". bah, i say. bs! highlight this though: the numerous fainting spells spotted in the regiment wings. soldiers were falling out of the parade rehearsals, both young and curmudgeonly, dropping like flies due to the immense heat, no thanks to the afternoon sun. the fool that i am, refused to and soldiered on, through gritting teeth, and thus endured a 12-hour march that starts from 7 every morn'. hopefully i won't pass out due to over-exhaustion or some of my neighbouring comrade's feta-smelling body odour. hence, this is a plea from those who, like me, have perfectly functioning olfactory systems, to those who exacerbates the pungent air situation: shove a sweat stick under those pits!
when this entire pervy ordeal has been squared away, i vow never to don on the uniform ever. all i need now is a jolly-good excuse that could extricate me from the yearly callbacks. think, des, think!

sound very pity des... cheer up k you are the man! yeah! =)
*pat pat*
(Rex) waking up at 6am is an ordeal itself!!!! lasting thru the day is quite another.
Hang in there, Des!!
And remember to drink more water to prevent heat exhaustion!!!
Take care!!
(chaos) hydrating is the word. bring on in the perriers and san pellegrinos!
And maybe some icy cold beers will even be better? :)
NS is a nightmare for many people but also a good chance to train up your mind and body. It allows u to deal with any challenge in your life.
des, i'm sure u can make it. prove to us that u can. ^o^
~no name~
(chaos) better make that heineken then. =)
(no name) apparently, the only body anatomy that it trains is my guts. i've been piling up on the canteen food during every possible break. i am bloating out of proportions already. dang!
saf day parade? is the event this coming weekend?
ah des,
so wont able to see until 10th Aug?
miss u shianzzz ;P
km
Haha... I don't like it either but no choice when you're a male Singaporean.
Ya, it seems that you've never upload any of your photos in uniform huh... Wonder how you'll appear, haha. Maybe with the "I wanna go home now!" depressive, sad child look. (I always link you with child. Maybe 'cos of your cute eyes. =P)
Well, endure pal! You'll survive! =)
Definitely not for this SAF day parade or else how i really wish i would be called back for reservist again.
tap... tap... tap...
(anon1) the saf parade falls on the 1st july every year, so, another two more weeks of inane marching, i think.
(km) it's for saf day parade, not for national day. i'd kill myself if i have to march for another month plus.
(763092) i dare not cam-whore any pics of myself when in uniform after hearing how strict the army is when it comes to military confidentiality.
(tap tap tap) and i know the reason why. as always, haha.
go find some medical reasons and be excused from reservist ever!
how about the magic number 302 ?
consider it !
Hahaha!!
And you will be a free man!
ahaha..des..i didn't knw it's that bad..well..you gotta tk cr yrself man. the weather is effing crazy, can't imagine you having to march all day..Jus take good care of yrself eh.. =)
ah des,
i really thought u would be
烧鸭des loh hahahahaaaa :D
ck
wondering how is the parade like.. never see it before. =p
(anon) i have already been through six in-camps, and this would have been my seventh. resorting to such methods such as 302 are really way below the belt, and honestly, no offence, i don't subscribe to that.
(jnkl) tell me about it, i am breaking into bouts of sweats even at night, what's more during the humid afternoons.
(ck) almost there, almost there, my friend. i am looking very dark as of now, but just not homogenous, because of the uniform.
(rex) maybe you can go to www.mindef.com.sg for an idea?
imagine platoons of men in green squeaking,screaming in joy with tears in their eyes over heineken...that will be the best heineken commercial ever, ya? but may not go tru censorship tho...hehe..
Tough but will be over soon eh..? meanwhile drink more water.
ah des,
still miss u even u turn into negrito ya :D
km
HAHA.that's true. treat it as a sauna experience then...few weeks of such experience with other guys.. =)
(chaos) i totally dig the advert. imagine guys going gaga over a walk-in beerdrobe more than the girls. something to ponder about.
(huiying) two more weeks to go.. sigh!
(km) i am dark, but not that negrito, haha.
(jnkl) sauna is an uplifting, fat-burning experience. this, on the other hand, is merely a skin-dehydrating ordeal. world of a difference.
ah des,
then u slept well these days?
km
From beer advert can see how society change too..last time used to be matured men with their soccer and beer..now lines blurring..or maybe its just the BEER! Bottoms up!
(km) with the aid of stilnox and xanax, sleep is a bliss. =)
(chaos) it's definitely a refreshing change, and i laughed my ass off watching that ad for the first time ever.
i've been requesting for callback to no effects :(
(kyong) its better to stay away from reservist, trust me, i have the first hand experience!
